Cycling in Chiyoda

EN: Chiyoda is the heart and center of Tokyo, old Imperial Palace is surrounded by high-rise buildings and busy roads. But on Sundays, when the weather forecast is good enough, approximately 3 km long section of roads just next to the palace is off limits for the general traffic and it is available only for cyclists. So if you have a chance and you can somehow get to this part of the city, give it a try, there are hundreds of enthusiasts over there cycling in groups (I saw a meeting of foldable bike fans today, quite impressive) or alone. There are little children and families, somewhat profesionally looking individuals (some of them with Tour de France level of equipment), people in any ages. It is worth trying and seeing.
